09 XP 800R 146 low rpms

[smidty2]

I'm new to skidoos, and have only ridden polaris for the last 20 years. On my XP I noticed it is only hitting 7900 rpm's, and adjusting the clickers doesn't change anything. Like I said I'm new to skidoos, and have heard a rumor that skidoo puts a chip in their sleds when new so that you can't over rev when breaking them in. Just wondering if anyone knows if there's truth to this rumor, or if I should be looking for another reason I can only pull 7900 and the clickers don't change anything. Any help would be appreciated. I only have 200miles on the sled.

Definitely look for another reason.

what clicker are you on? have u asked your dealer what elevation your sled is clutched for?

My '09 started popping 8200 at 175 miles, have my clickers set at 6 in the snowies and pull 8200 no problem.

Belt issue maybe?

Last I knew, the DPM's were programmed to "take it easy" for a break-in. Around 320 miles, you should should say "wow". Of course, that was on the '03... haven't been on anything new since then

It's a good possibility you need to take your clutch off and free the arm's up they are sticky from the factory or better yet have your dealer do it for you.

I know it's set up stock from the factory...they gave me a sheet that shows it's set up for something like 3-6k. Being both a flatlander, and riding out west I might need to change the setup. I have a buddy that has an 08 and all he did was take the set screws out, and ran the same cluthing in low elevation as the black hills.
